Libros Revoluci?n is proud to host author and former New York Times
foreign correspondent Chris Hedges for a booksigning on Thursday,
January 25th at 3:00pm.
In America Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America,
Chris Hedges, veteran journalist and author of the National Book
Award finalist War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, traces the
alarming path of the Christian fundamentalists\\' rise to power and
its frightening vision for a new, theocratic America.
Hedges draws striking parallels between the young fascist movements
in Italy and Germany in the 1920s and `30s and the highly
funded \\"dominionist movement\\" of today, an influential theocratic
sect within the country\\'s huge evangelical population. Rooted in a
radical Calvinism, and wrapping its apocalyptic, vehemently
militant, male chauvinist and homophobic vision in patriotic and
religious rhetoric, dominionism seeks absolute power in a Christian
state.
This book urges people to confront the reality that these theocrats
are making giant strides towards their twisted vision, and serves as
a clarion call for everyone who cares about the direction society is
heading.
